Here are the big stories from Tamil Nadu today

1. T.N. extends support for Kerala’s suit seeking to retain fiscal autonomy

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan, appreciating Kerala for moving the Supreme Court against the Union government’s attempts to “stifle State governments” over finances.

Mr. Stalin also criticised the “discriminatory and unconstitutional attempts” pushed by the Union government and contended that the Centre’s intent seemed to be aimed at “crippling” States’ abilities to raise resources and fund crucial developmental initiatives.

2. Vengaivayal issue | ‘Dalit villagers favour CBI probe’

The Director of National Commission for Scheduled Castes S. Ravivarman visited Vengaivayal village in Pudukottai district and held a probe.

Later, while addressing journalists, he said the Adi-Dravidars of Vengaivayal and Dalit organisations and parties wanted a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the case of mixing of faeces in the overhead water tank at the village that supplied drinking water to the Dalit families. 

The incident reported in late December 2022 is currently being investigated by the Crime Branch CID for more than a year now.

The Madras High Court has solicited the views of all Bar associations on a Parliamentary Standing Committee’s recommendation that High Court judges in the country could go on vacation at different times in a year, rather than declaring a month-long summer vacation for the courts during the month of May and the much shorter vacations during Dussehra and Christmas.
